This is totally bizarre, and not to start a huge scalper debate, but check out what the hell has popped up over at Amazon.com today:  WTF?!  

Wow.  Looks like someone's moving up in the world.  Pretty crazy to see that little partnership pop up there!  I'm sure Amazon will enjoy some of the complaints they're going to be getting about this!    A few of those prices are decent, while a couple others aren't.  I'm surprised about the cheap price on that Acklay to be honest.  Should be interesting to see what else pops up there, and what the prices will be.  I'm sure part of the reason TRU's doing this is to be able expand into the vintage market, but it's still pretty weird!

So what do you think of this move on Amazon.com's part?

Looks like it's unfortunately going to be the Special Editions...

Disappointing indeed.  Looks like Uncle George is sticking to his guns, and never offering the original versions again.  That's such a shame, and just downright wrong.  He owes his fans and the film community more than that.  I don't understand why he can't get that through his thick head!  

There sure better not be any people complaining about the Malaysian bootlegs floating around, since they're going to forever be the only original versions available!  

This is good news.  Really glad I held out on this one.  I'll probably just pick up one of these, but is there anyone out there who plans on doing some bizarre Silver Clone army building with them?

I've only flown a handful of times, but it doesn't bother me at all.  I did notice myself quickly "scanning" the passengers on my last flight though, so I guess that other elements of flying have me slightly nervous though.  

I sure as hell wouldn't be caught dead skydiving though.  You guys are crazy!  

So, what's everyone doing for the Super Bowl on Sunday?  My girlfriend's talking about trying to put together a little shindig at our place, but I'm not sure if she'll really have the time.  If not, I'll probably just hit the local sports bar with some buddies.

Really hoping for a Carolina Panthers win, since they're the underdogs and have never won it before.  Plus, I still think the Patriots got unfairly lucky in that Raider game a couple years ago, that led to their last championship.

Should be a great game!  I anticipate a whole lot of junk food, beer, and extra pounds coming my way this weekend.  

Great to hear that these are out now.  I didn't think I'd be collecting this line, but after seeing the first wave at Target last month, I just couldn't resist their cartoony cuteness!  So, still no word on any wave 3 beyond this one though, right?  Maybe there's still a good chance of it, since the cartoon's going to be back on the tube pretty soon, and getting some more publicity.  Of course, since no rumors, news, or pix have surfaced yet, it may be doubtful.  But hopefully they'll surprise us with some more, since 8 figures for this line just aren't enough!

Welcome back.  Again.  

Welcome to the party Tony.  Doesn't get much friendlier than these folks!  Nice peaceful environment around these parts too, so I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself amidst the JD sanity parade.  Some real knowledgeable collectors too.    Have fun!
